ALFRED SEIBERT December 21, 1901 Berlin, Conn, The Stage I choose, a subject fair and free. l Seibert has made a name for himself and is the only man 1n High School who can rival Booth. Time after time he has changed our amateur High School plays to the rank of profes- sional productions thru his splendid acting. He is headed straight toward stardom in Griflin's productions, the only drawback being-what will become of Laura? Treasurer C233 Amphion Club. MARY DONAHUE January 19, 1902 New Britain, Conn. A little pretty, witty Miss Appearances are often deceiving. To look at Mary one would think her a sub-freshman, but you'd be surprised, for Mary is a dignihed senior. Mary's hobby is dancing in which she has great ability. Ask But! Junior Prom Decorative Committee, Civics Clubg Freshman Reception Committee. LEONA CALLEN H New Britain, Conn. y. Through her four years with us Leona has been a good sport and has added many links to her chain of friendship. She certainly never worries, but tell us Leona, about Suffield? Enough of that-she is undecided about next year, but all know she will make a success of whatever she takes up. Civics Club. February 6, 1901 I should worr CLARA PEARL GETCHELL Oh, she was good as she was fair- None, none on earth above her: As pure in though! as angels are-To know her was I0 love her. Clara Pearl came all the way from Pennsylvania via Plainville to be one of the class of 1920. She may look Very shy, butgon Class Day she had her palm read-and to our surprise, she was found hirtatious. Yes, indeed. Very sur- prising. That will never do at Normal, Clara. 22

ALBERT RAPP 'September 11, 1903 New Bfiiaiily CUYIY1 ' He wurbles Con the cornell airs whose rhapsodies shouldfeast the ears ofSeraphirns. For four long and tedious years, Rapp has knocked at the stubborn portals of Higher Knowledge, which have consistently refused to open to his demands: but patience is one of his characteristics, and we shall Hnd him still knocking at college next year. To any interested it must be explained that these words are not meant as knocks but as gentle raps. Member of Debating Club 643. ANNA JACKSON July 29, 1903 New Britain, Conn, When Robert is here I sigh with pleasure, When Robert is gone I sigh with grief Anna has not toiled much during her four years spent in agony as she says. But, then, she has passed the crisis. Anna's actions have been rather frivolous of late, but we suppose it's because she's in love. Anna's cheerful and winning ways have gained her many friends thru her High School career. Civics Club: Spanish Club: Y. W. A. A. ill 42l: Cantata t-13. MILDRED LUDDY November 22, 1902 Middletown, Conn. In each rheek a pretty dimple, L.ove hath made those hollowsf' Mildred cannot be accused of being in the dark during her high school career. Her dramatic qualities have helped her to lighten the atmosphere after school hours. Mildred startled us all by her appearance as a Vamp in one of the dramatic productions of the age. Y. W. A. A.: Aloha Club: Civics Club: Social Committee: Class Night Committee: Class Vice President: French Club: Basketball. ELSA NERO December 16, 1901 New Britain, Conn Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul. To be charming, that in itself, forgives a multitude of sins, but to be blessed with merits also, as Elsa is, seems almost too good to be true. Remember ye Olde Jazz Orchestra that furnished the music for our Jitney dances? Well, one of the most able participants in the band of musicians was Elsa, and what made her share all the more acceptable was her nice understanding smile which she would flash at us, when we'd jazz by.

RAYMOND PULVER October 5, 1903 New Britain, Conn. He reads murh, he is a great observer, and he looks quite thru the deeds of men. Ray joined the class of 1920 at the outset of the Junior year. His appearance does not in any way check the apprecia- tion that he will complete his High School days with the class of 1920. Ray is a quiet, studious and ambitious young man and all who know him count his friendship priceless. Civics Club. LILLIAN ENGLISH Jan r ua y 20, 1902 New Britain, Conn. Her talk is like rt steam engine. Altho' Lillian is rather modest and tranquil, she forgets herself when reciting in class and a burst of winged words come forth. Lillian is a very friendly girl and will make her way in the world without a doubt as a competent stenographer. Civics Club. MARION MEEHAN February 19, 1903 New Britain, Conn. Little, but oh my! Mattie may be little but she certainly is not inconspic- uous, for she can easily be heard at all times. Perhaps that is why she left Room 303. We hear that she is very fond of that popular song DardaQnella. Marion plans to enter the business world next year where we are sure she will be a great success. Civics Club. RUTH IGOE October 14, 1901 New Britain, Conn. Deliver me from the opposite sex. Ruth is rather quiet and shy at first but not so when known. Ruth has been working mornings most of the time and therefore we don't know much about her. Whenever there is a special time schedule, Ruth makes a grand dive for the nearest theatre and there employs her time. Y. W. A. A.: Civics Club. 23
